I am looking into adopting InterViews for a production version of a prototype application platform written last year. The prototype uses Sun OLIT. Before even considering IV, I need to know that I can do one thing using IV that is critical to the package: The platform integrates a Geographical Information System with a GUI process. The GIS writes an X window that covers most of the screen; its operations are controlled by the GUI code. The GUI process gets the X window id of the GIS window and attaches it to an OLIT Stub widget, and adds an event handler for the Stub that gets all mouse cursor movement events (allowing screen-to-real-world coordinate conversion as the cursor moves). My understanding is that a goal of IV is to keep the IV programmer working exclusively at the object level and not do any direct X coding. Am I prevented from it? Do one or more IV classes provide some analog to the OLIT Stub, so that I can capture those mouse cursor movements using IV? Dave Copperman
